Burnaby Hospital has the longest waits for surgery in the Fraser Health region. And the facility’s medical coordinator says that’s because its resources lag behind other hospitals. Dr. David Jones was responding to a Black Press story on how Fraser Health cut back on surgeries earlier this year to avoid an operating room budget overrun. That’s despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already much longer than Vancouver Coastal region. The two benchmarks the provincial government uses to gauge surgical waits is how long it takes to complete 50 per cent of cases and 90 per cent of cases. For the first three months of 2014 until March 31, Fraser completed half its surgeries within 6.4 weeks – the other half of patients waited longer than that. That’s compared to 5.1 weeks at Vancouver Coastal and 6.0 weeks for the B.C. average. Ninety per cent of surgeries performed in those months at Fraser waited less than 31.3 weeks (10 per cent waited longer). Please see REVIEW, A3

levels in operating rooms, Morton noted. It should be completed within the next several weeks. “Burnaby Hospital is staffed with nurses exactly the same way that other community-based

hospitals in Fraser Health are staffed, compared to say, Langley, Eagle Ridge, Ridge Meadows etc.” While there are more nurses per OR at Royal Columbian, “the level of acuity of surgery is very,

very different,” Morton said. As a provincial trauma centre, RCH automatically receives all the most serious cases. That includes vascular, cardiac and neurosurgery patients. As a

result, its staffing needs are higher than a community hospital that does mostly elective surgeries. “An elective gall bladder surgical repair at a community hospital is a very different operation than an emergency coronary artery bypass valve repair and the staffing levels would reflect that.” Emergency surgeries make up about 70 per cent of the case load at Royal Columbian while Burnaby would be “completely reversed from that.” The majority of its cases are “run-of-the-mill routine elective surgeries.” While such cases are important, Morton said, it’s much easier to plan staffing for them, compared to sudden emergency cases with the “acuity of somebody rolling through the door bleeding to death.” —with files from Jeff Nagel twitter.com/WandaChow

Mayor cautions people not to be apathetic ⫸

It also asks why Kinder Morgan has seemingly underestimated the cost of an oil spill. It notes that Enbridge has estimated its cleanup of a spill of diluted bitumen—the same type of product Trans Mountain will carry—in the Kalamazoo River at $725 million. But Kinder Morgan estimates a spill on its expanded pipeline would cost $100 million

to $300 million. At Monday’s council meeting, Mayor Derek Corrigan said to those who say the city’s submission is excessive, he reminds them the company’s application is 15,000 pages. That works out to “one question for every 10 pages.” Coun. Colleen Jordan noted that city staff were given a tight timeframe, a little over a month, to produce the submission. “It

was a tremendous amount of work in a tremendously short period of time.” Coun. Pietro Calendino added that the city submitted so many questions because the NEB is no longer allowing oral presentations, and is only taking written submissions. Corrigan cautioned people to not be apathetic. “I don’t want anyone to think they don’t have any skin in the game because

they’re not directly impacted, they do. It’s their whole city that will be impacted by this decision.” He said he knows few people have faith that “a little city like ours” can fight off a multinational oil company and the federal government. “But if anybody can do it, it’ll be Burnaby. We will continue to fight the good fight.” Kinder Morgan is required to respond to the City of Burnaby’s

information request by June 13. Meanwhile, for anyone wanting to see Kinder Morgan’s application, Burnaby’s Bob Prittie Metrotown library branch is one of only two places—the other is in Abbotsford—where a print copy is available, all 41 volumes of it. Numerous libraries also have electronic versions available on USB flash drives and it’s also available on the Internet. For more see: http://bit.ly/1sOBJdz/.

Three students won Stellar Achievement Awards and will attend the provincial fair in Kamloops June 29 to July 3: Silvia Beck, Grade 5 Glenwood elementary student, for “Ironworking in Canada”; Amber Craig, Grade 5 from Stoney Creek Community School, for “George Stanley: Designer of Our Flag”; and Steven Dai Chuy, Grade 6 from Windsor elementary, for “Craig Kielburger.” Also attending the B.C. fair as the winner of the Rotary Club of Burnaby Ambassador Award will be Boya Yang, Grade 6 Marlborough elementary student, for “TransLink.” This year’s winner of the The NewsLeader Top Senior Exhibitor (grades 7-9) Award was Mark Mekhail, Grade 7 Marlborough elementary student, for “Fictional Canadian Superheroes.”

A boost for Burnaby Village RBC has donated $25,000 to Burnaby Village Museum to sponsor its school programs for the 20142015 school year. The money will enable the museum to give away two school programs a month to schools designated as being “inner city” by their school districts. The museum offers eight programs designed to complement the B.C. social studies curriculum for grades K to 9. More than 18,000 students participated in the program in 2013. “RBC’s generous sponsorship will allow hundreds of students to experience local history first-hand in the Museum’s 1920s village setting,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan.

Brentwood area to get some ratrunner relief Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Graveley Street residents will get a dose of relief from the ratrunning traffic that’s plagued the Brentwood neighbourhood. On Monday, Burnaby council approved a right-turn-only restriction for eastbound vehicles on Graveley at Willingdon Avenue. It’ll be in effect on weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. An existing, but undersized, speed hump on the street will also be rebuilt. The moves come after Graveley residents submitted a petition calling for something to be done about shortcutting traffic. Traffic counts done in August 2013 in the 4200-block of Graveley showed average twoway weekday traffic at about 1,330 vehicles per day, said a city staff report. That’s higher than in 1999 when volumes were about 1,110 vehicles a day. But in both cases, they are “well below” the maximum

threshold of 3,000 a day for a local residential street, it said. Volumes were highest during the afternoon rush hour and for eastbound traffic. Speed counts in March found 85 per cent of vehicles travelled at around 41 km/h, well below the speed limit. Nearby, a realignment of Douglas Road is being planned which will provide a more direct connection between First Avenue and and Halifax Street. Residents are concerned that could send more traffic to Graveley, but there’s a possibility the shortcutting traffic may actually decrease, the report said. Meanwhile, the new rightturn restriction could help cut down on ratrunners continuing east across Willingdon to Brentlawn Drive. The route is used by some commuters to avoid congestion at Lougheed Highway. Coun. Paul McDonell suggested left turns also be restricted at Halifax Street and Willingdon to prevent traffic from using that route to get to Brentlawn.

“All I have to do is go half a block out of my way and I haven’t changed anything,” McDonell said. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, chair of the traffic safety committee, said traffic can’t be stopped, it can only be discouraged from going where you don’t want it. He advocated implementing the Graveley change then monitoring the effects before deciding on next steps. It’s all about striking a delicate balance, said Coun. Pietro Calendino. Any solution that totally satisfies Graveley residents may end up impacting those living just north of that street. “For the moment, it’s a good solution.” Coun. Colleen Jordan asked about the impact of the province’s Highway 1 expansion project, which was touted as a way to ease traffic congestion on Burnaby streets. “If you believe that I’ve got a bridge in New Westminster I can sell you,” quipped Mayor Derek Corrigan.

A timely response Apathy in the political process has reached an all-time high in recent years, with the perception that elected representatives are not really listening to public concerns. But there is evidence that the provincial government is heeding public feedback, on two currently contentious issues at least. An all-party committee of MLAs has unanimously supported a proposal from Finance Minister Mike de Jong that henceforth all B.C. politicians will publish their expense receipts – including food, travel and accommodation – online. The proposal, clearly a response to the flap over legislature Speaker Linda Reid’s expenses – including nearly $5,500 in business-class air travel for her spouse, since repaid – elicited a few grumbles from NDP MLAs over the work involved in backing all expenses with receipts. Meanwhile Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has apparently taken note of written feedback from B.C. residents in amending the proposed Bill 24, which would make changes to the province’s Agricultural Land Reserve. There are indications that the impassioned words of many regarding both the need for food security in the province and a long-term commitment to preserving agricultural land have been noted and reflected in amendments. The actual impact of both of these provincial policies remains to be seen, of course. Politicians generally are pastmasters in the art of simulated action, and manipulating public opinion through carefully stagemanaged response. But the BC Liberals have everything to gain and nothing to lose by demonstrating a greater level of responsiveness to public opinion – rather than the predictable chorus of partisan support. —Peace Arch News

Horgan has work cut out for him John Horgan is the new leader of the NDP. Unlike the situation in 2011, when there was a hard-fought battle for the NDP leadership, he won it by acclamation, and took over his new role on May 1. The lack of competition for the job isn’t surprising. In 2011, it looked like quite a prize. The BC Liberals were in disarray, Gordon Campbell had resigned, and winning the premiership after 12 years in opposition looked like a cakewalk. Even a year ago, during the election campaign, the polls said the NDP was far ahead. But on election day, the party lost — and quite decisively. Leader Adrian Dix pondered the situation for a short time, then announced he was stepping aside. Horgan was one of the four contenders for the NDP leadership in 2011, and made a number of visits here in that campaign. I had the chance to speak with him several times, and was impressed by his breadth of knowledge and his generally upbeat personality.

Frank Bucholtz He worked in senior positions in the NDP government of the 1990s, and he knows B.C. intimately. This is one of his big strengths. Unlike Dix, who is a Vancouver guy, Horgan knows the province and the differences between regions and communities very well. The very fact that he represents a Vancouver Island riding (not a downtown Victoria one) is a plus. His understanding of what makes the B.C. economy work is much better than that of many NDPers. He has been the energy and mines critic in the past, and both those issues are key to parts of B.C. outside the urban cores. The fact that he is keeping an open mind on Kinder Morgan’s application to twin its pipeline is a significant shift from Dix’s

decision to oppose the project midway through the election campaign. That move likely cost the NDP the election. It certainly had a demonstrable effect in handing seats to the BC Liberals. I would also be surprised if Horgan would let an easterner run the NDP provincial campaign. Dix picked Brian Topp, who had run Jack Layton’s national campaign in 2011. However, Topp had already proved he knew little about B.C. when he ran for the leadership after Layton’s death, and he made a number of crucial mistakes during last year’s provincial campaign. I felt sorry for the many young people who were working on the local campaigns last May. They put their hearts and souls into the campaign, only to be sandbagged by provincial campaign decisions that were all over the map. Dix is a very decent man and has fought hard for many people who have few speaking up for them. But he was not the best choice in the 2011 leadership race. Horgan likely was — and

now he can prove to voters that the NDP is a possible alternative. He will have to show working people that he isn’t anti-jobs, he isn’t anti-resources and he isn’t in the pocket of big public sector unions. The NDP’s biggest handicap is that many voters do not believe it understands how the economy works. Certainly Dix’s comments on Kinder Morgan, which came after he had said he would wait until there was an actual application in place, showed his willingness to court environmentalists at the expense of workers. Its other big challenge is a deep divide between private sector workers and the diehard environmentalists who oppose logging, mining, power development, oil and gas and virtually anything that involves B.C. resources. Horgan has his work cut out for him. Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times.

Changes ‘minimal’: resident ⫸

continued from PAGE A5

City staff recommended no changes to address traffic concerns from Brentlawn Drive residents due to its use as a transit bus route. Dhaliwal said the traffic safety committee will take another look at the issues there after the Graveley turn restriction is put in place. Graveley Street resident

Cherie Moses presented the residents’ concerns to the committee in November. She said by email that the changes are “minimal.” She agreed with city staff that people not stopping at the stop sign at Willingdon while trying to beat the traffic light is a police enforcement issue. “It is Catch 22, there are not enough RCMP officers to

monitor such things, so the noncompliance becomes habitual and without consequences, until someone is hurt,” Moses said. “We are going to wait for the new sign, and see if it has an impact on short cutting traffic. They fully expect to hear from us again if the problems are not resolved.” twitter.com/WandaChow

Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and rear door window blinds. Driver-assist safety technologies are also available in abundance for those who like the car to do some thinking for them. The new Genesis is also a statement of intent: it heralds what will be the look of the seven new less-premium Hyundai products expects to grace our showrooms before 2016. When it comes to driving, it’s really a tale of two cars. The top-of-the-line model offers a big V8 5-litre power plant, with 420 horses at its disposal. Ironically, it’s best enjoyed jogged along at low speed on the highway, where it has the feel of an old-fashioned big family sedan. (It’s not a lot of fun on the twisting lakeside roads of the Okanagan.) Cars destined for the Canadian market will come with an all-new HTRAC

active wheel drive (AWD) system. Says Hyundai: “Performance of the vehicle’s all-new platform was validated in some of the world’s most demanding driving environments, including Germany’s famed Nürburgring Nordschleife and Korea’s Yeongam Formula 1 racing circuit.” The large variety of proving grounds offered by the northern Okanagan was much more appealing to me. And especially so in the car equipped with the 311 horsepower, 3.8-litre GDI V6 engine. Flipping between the Normal, Eco and Sport modes and tapping the gear-changing paddles on the steering wheel made for an enjoyable drive. Little lean in the corners and sprightly up hill. Both engines are coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission with a SHIFTRONIC manual mode. The base price is $43,000, $48,000 gets you the Luxury version, and $53,000 loads up the tech features. If you want the V8, get ready to spend $62,000. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

The all-new, third generation 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD tips the scale at 2,200 kg (4,850 lbs.) It’s not a svelte vehicle. Inside, this Highlander can carry up to seven passengers. It’s not a cramped vehicle. And behind the third row of seats, there’s a cargo capacity of 385L. It’s an accommodating vehicle. So when I knew that I’d be logging more than 1,000 kilometres in a week, perhaps you’d think I’m a little crazy to want to take this (relatively) heavy and large SUV along for the ride. Normally, I would too. But there’s a word in its name that made me want to take this beauty of a beast for the long haul: Hybrid. As I entered the Flaxen (aka beige) adorned cabin, I reached for the “Eco Mode” button underneath the redesigned centre stack. I gave that a push. The Eco mode is a feature that lessens the throttle response in an effort to help save fuel. You can still do all your normal daily driving duties, it just helps you keep money where it should be: in your wallet. And keeps the fuel where it should be: in the tank. Granted, in Eco Mode, it doesn’t give you the peppy acceleration you might like. Then again, if prompt acceleration is what you’re after, skip the Eco Mode and that’s It is competent, exactly what you’ll get. potent and a fabulous Whether I was driving in the sport utility vehicle city or on the highway, the Highlander has a smootheven in Eco Mode ness to it that makes me love where the fun is a being behind the wheel. It little bit restricted. cruises effortlessly atop the pavement and makes the Alexandra Straub driver and passengers feel at ease. Especially when you know you’re going the distance. I even had one passenger say to me, “If we were in here any longer, I could’ve fallen asleep! It’s so comfortable.” Good thing they weren’t driving. We’ve already established its size, and while it fits up to seven, it doesn’t feel that big to drive. Sure, you need to make sure you watch its width but manoeuvring it around in parking lots isn’t a chore at all. Thanks to its rack and pinion-type, electric power steering, you can move around graciously. Looking at the estimated fuel results, it’s rated at 6.8L/100km in the city and 7.2L/100km on the highway. Keep in mind the aforementioned stats about its size and weight and those numbers are really impressive. My real world numbers? A combined average of 8.9L/100km. Not bad. Not bad at all. Most of my driving was done on the highway so the hybrid system doesn’t have a chance to run off electricity alone at those speeds. The MSRP for the 2014 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited AWD is $52,695. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

The good old bad old days of four wheeling Luxury and hi-tech systems abound in the 4x4s that show up in the local media test fleets. When I stepped out of one of the more loaded examples the other I got to thinking about yesteryear. Some might refer to them as the good old days – judge for yourself. I remember – not that long ago – four wheeling in a truck when the standard transmission shifter was so loose, you didn’t know you were in gear or neutral. Anti-lock brakes were when you lost your master cylinder to a stick, while (independently minded) power steering kicked in when you hit Automatic fourthe corner of a rock so hard wheel-drive was it ripped the steering wheel achieved by asking out of your hand and if you your passenger to weren’t carful your thumb step out and lock the as well. Traction control came in front hubs. the shape of new tires. Automatic four-wheel-drive Ian Harwood was achieved by asking your passenger to step out and lock the front hubs. The parking brake was a log shoved under the rear tire. Soft suspension meant your shocks were blown. Off-road suspension meant you spent more time hitting the roof with your head and back than you actually spent on the seat, which if you were lucky had some remaining padding still in it. Your seat belts would tighten up on every bump and if you didn’t stop you would be suffocated. You would be lucky if your radio would bring in a few channels on the AM band only! Wheel articulation really indicated your leaf spring was broken in half. Air conditioning was driving with your windows down and trying to breath

4x4s have come a long way in recent years. in between dust clouds. GPS was your buddy screaming out, “I think it’s this road”. Most people used to sleep in the back of their trucks. But I remember one time after a long day of four-wheeling pulling into an open area by a river where I found a nice sandy mound. With the aid of my flash light I quickly spread the sand out with my arms making a flat area in which to put my tent. It was about 5:30 am when I first noticed the red ants crawling all around my sleeping bag. I quickly climbed out of my tent to discover the soft sandy mound I found was actually a giant anthill. The vehicles of today have the capabilities of descending steep hills without even putting your foot on the brake and you could disconnect your sway bar end links to allow for more articulation. Ability to stop on a hill without rolling back is nice. Comfortable seats are an improvement, especially on long trips. Although we can’t relive the past, it’s important to remember technology is there to help us. There is no replacement for common sense.

nearly normal lifespan, it also prevents most transmission of the virus once the patient is being treated. “These guidelines hold the promise that by expanding HIV testing as we have done, we will be taking another great step towards potentially eliminating HIV in the province of British Columbia,” Kendall said. Dr. Julio Montaner, director of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV-AIDS, said

the United Nations continues to use B.C. as a model for its global effort to eliminate the disease. “Back in 1995 we used to have one person or more dying per day at St. Paul’s Hospital alone, every year because of HIV and AIDS,” Montaner said. “Today, my [physician] residents don’t know what that looks like. We virtually have eliminated death from HIV.”

VICTORIA – Routine HIVAIDS testing is being offered once every five years to all B.C. residents aged 18-70, building on infection control efforts that have been recognized around the world in reducing disease transmission and death. B.C.’s “Treatment as Prevention” strategy has proven so effective in pilot programs in Vancouver and Prince George that the government is extending its outreach efforts across the province. Routine testing of pregnant women has all but eliminated mother-child transmission, and antiviral therapies have cut the death toll of AIDS by 90% since 1996.

A charming country lifestyle at Village Green By Kerry Vital

Relaxation and a neighbourly feel are the words of the day at Village Green, a quiet enclave in Maple Ridge that’s been appealing to buyers of all demographics. “It’s like a little English village,” says sales manager Jeanie Fox. “It’s a really nice community.” The two-level townhomes are built in a West Coast Architecture style, and are surrounded by plenty of green

space. Each home has a fenced yard, making them perfect for families and those looking to have a bit of green space of their own. “It’s a beautiful setting,” says Fox. “You can cook dinner in your kitchen while watching your kids play in the yard right outside.” Inside, the spacious three-bedroom floorplans, ranging from 1,246 to 1,382 square feet, include laminate hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings on the main floor and quartz countertops

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen. The master ensuite bathroom is spa-inspired, with a full frameless glass shower and oversized shower head. “These are very good finishings,” Fox says. “You also get a great value for your money. It’s just incredible.” Phase one is currently selling, and the second phase will be released soon. When complete, the nine-acre site will hold 105 townhomes. Homeowners have already started moving in, with more to come in the fall. “We wanted to offer homes that felt like a single-family residence, at townhome affordability, and in fact the majority of our buyers have claimed this as one of their top reasons for purchasing there,” says Fox. Homes at Village Green start at $302,900. For more information, visit www.villagegreenlife.ca, call 604-476-2292 or visit the presentation centre at 12161 237th Street, Maple Ridge, open 12 to 5 p.m. every day except Fridays.

Camden at The Falls, the first release of single-family homes built around The Falls golf course in Chilliwack, will have beautiful views from every home, including the rolling greens of the golf course, right, and over the surrounding area, below.

Dream homes at Camden at The Falls By Kerry Vital

Aquilini Development is bringing their master-planned community building expertise to Chilliwack with The Falls, an envisioned community of over 500 homes, set to be built around The Falls Golf Club. Camden, their first release of just 47 singlefamily homes, offers a little piece of paradise for as low as $389,900. “You walk out your door and you’re on the golf course, with rolling greens and panoramic views,” says Macartney Greenfield, project manager for Rennie Marketing Systems. “There aren’t a lot of projects that

can offer that resort-style living.” The response has been overwhelming, Greenfield says. Floorplans range from 1,336 to 3,176 square feet, and each comes with a large double-car garage with tons of room for storage. The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Greenfield says. There is also a rancher floorplan available. Buyers will have a vast array of choices when it comes to customizing their new home, including six different home types and elevation styles, eight exterior colour schemes and two interior colour schemes. There are also several interior and exterior upgrade options available. The location is one of the biggest draws for Camden at The Falls. “People are amazed by how beautiful it is here,” Greenfield says. “It’s nestled into the side of the mountain with breathtaking views in every direction.” To take advantage of the views, the homes have spacious covered decks and oversized

windows. Nine-foot ceilings in the main living areas add to the airy feeling. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with porcelain tile in the bathrooms and low-pile carpeting in the bedrooms. A gas fireplace in the living room is perfect for cozying up to in the colder weather, and a rough-in for a wet bar is included in some homes, making entertaining easy. The kitchen is gourmet and refined, with stainless-steel appliances, shaker-style wood stained or flat-panel cabinetry and laminate countertops. A convenient kitchen island creates extra space, with pendant lighting above illuminating your tasks. A full-height walk-in pantry with built-in shelving is another convenient feature that demonstrates Aquilini’s commitment to their homeowners. The master ensuite features a tempered glass shower enclosure and separate tub, with double sinks for plenty of his-and-hers space. Every home comes with a two-year

membership to The Falls Golf Club, with additional discounts for the pro shop, restaurant and ongoing green fees. It truly is a golfer’s dream come true! The Aquilini name has held a lot of weight for buyers at Camden at The Falls. “Aquilini has strong local roots and is very committed to this community,” says Greenfield. “You have the confidence factor of buying from a builder known for large developments and master-planned communities.” Homeowners won’t have to venture very far from their home to find anything they need. “This is a very central community,” says Greenfield. “There’s a great school at the bottom of the hill, and you’re less than 10 minutes from Chilliwack.” Trails, lakes and other outdoor recreation opportunities are also plentiful here. For more information, visit www. livethefalls.com, call 604-794-5722 or stop by the presentation centre at 8361 Nixon Road, Chilliwack, open 12 to 5 p.m. daily except Tuesdays, or by appointment.
